OIL-STOVE.

Application filed March 15, 1918.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED D. MULLIN, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of Regina, in the Province of Saskatchewan and Dominion of Canada, have invented a new and Improved Oil-Stove, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to oil stoves, and more particularly to a water heater whereby the. cooking flame can be utilized for heating water without interfering with the ordinary use of the stove.

The invention has for its general objects to improve the construction of oil stoves so that with comparatively little additional expense in the manufacture and without any substan tial change in the design it is possible to effectively heat a body of water while the flame is being used for ordinary purposes, the hot water heater being in the form of a jacket around the flue or burner drum, so that the heat ordinarily radiated from the drum and wasted is employed to heat the water.

A more specific object of the invention is the provision of a combined flue and water heater which is mounted in the body of the stove and has means for filling the heating chamber and for drawing off hot water.

IVith such objects in view, and others which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention comprises various novel features of construction and arrangement of parts which will be set forth with particularity in the following description and claim appended hereto.

In the accompanying drawing, which illustrates one embodiment of the invention and wherein similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a vertical section of an oil stove with the invention applied thereto;

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the combined water heater and burner flue; and

Fig. 3 is a vertical section on the line 33, Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawing, 1 designates the bod of the stove which contains a burner 2 of ordinary construction supplied with liquid hydrocarbon through a pipe 3 from a Specification of Letters Patent.

reservoir 4:, and in the top 5 of the stove is the usual opening 6 for the heat of the flame to heat the article placed on top of the stove. As the stove is of usual construction and forms no part of the present invention the foregoing brief description will suflice.

The burner is provided with a fine or drum 7 which in the present instance is surrounded by a water jacket formed by a drum or casing 8 concentrically disposed with respect to the fine. This combined water heater and fine is supported from the top of the stove by members 9 fastened to the top of the drum and extending upwardly therefrom with the members bent laterally to form lugs 10. The members 9 pass upwardly through the opening 6 in the top of the stove and the lugs 10 rest on the said top. A pipe 11 is connected with the bottom portion of the water heater and extends through the bottom of the stove and has a faucet 12 on its lower end. The water is supplied to the heater through a feed pipe 13 which can be removably fitted in the openin 14 in the frusto-conical top of the heater. The top of the filling tube 13 is formed with a funnel 15 which is seated in the top 5 of the Stove.

The heater has a water gage 16 by which the level of the water can be ascertained, and a lighting passage 17 is formed in the heater so as to permit a match to be applied to the burner 2, there being a door 18 to normally close this passage.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, the advantages of the construction and method of operation will be readily understood by those skilled in the art to which the invention appertains, and while I have described the principle of operation, together with'the device which I now consider to be the best embodiment thereof, I desire to have it understood that the device shown is merely illustrative and that such changes may be made when desired as fall within the scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

An oil stove comprising a body having an opening in its top, a burner in the body, a

flue for the burner, a Water-holding drum latter forming a unitary structure removable surrounding the flue and supporting the through the opening in the top of the stove same, members extending upwardly from body, means for supplying Water to the G the drum and through the opening of the drum, and means for drawing off Water from 5 top, said members having means for engagthe drum.

ing the top to support the flue and drum, said flue and drum and the means on the ALFRED DANIEL MULLIN.
